As a very busy 2007 draws to a close, I’ve just been sorting through the mountain of brochures, leaflets, maps and other sundry paperwork on my desk. I uncovered the postcard above, bought in the Isles of Scilly back in May. The lighthouse in the picture is the astonishing Bishop Rock, Britain’s tallest and most exposed lighthouse. A series of these puffin pictures appear on a range of ‘All Puffed Out’ products available around the Isles. The veracity of the image may be open to question; in three visits to the Isles, I haven’t yet spotted any puffins paddling kayaks. However, the large puffin population frequents the uninhabited outlying rocks, who knows what they get up to out there?
